Battle of Socotra

The Battle of Socotra was a battle of the Second Cold War in which the United States and government of Yemen failed to bring Raul Menendez to justice.

Background
JSOC-employed hacker Chloe Lynch found out that terrorist Raul Menendez was planning a series of attacks on Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong in China, and many bases in the United States, and found ou that the attacks were to be triggered on June 19. Commander David Mason reported to Admiral Thomas Briggs, telling him to attack on Socotra Island to take down Menendez, and although Mason claimed that it was a trap, Briggs told him that he would move out to link up with CIA agent Farid and the Yemeni militia. Farid infiltrated the Yemeni Militia with Raul Menendez, and he would have to fight against the Yemeni Army to keep his cover. He would have to ally with Raul Menendez and keep cover in order to assassinate him.

Battle
Menendez and Farid headed to a rally where they encouraged the people, but the Americans sprung their ambush, with a VTOL and quads attacking the crowd with rapid machine-gun fire. Menendez shot down the VTOL with an RPG, but the Quads continued to fight, and the Cordis Die were massacred. Menendez and a few militiamen began their flight to the square, where they would be evacuated, and Farid was forced to shoot the Yemeni Army to keep his profile. The Yemeni Militia and Yemeni Army both suffered heavy losses, with Army quads inflicting heavy losses. Menendez and Farid made it to the market, where Menendez shot down a VTOL with Mike Harper in it. Harper, a member of JSOC and a close friend of commander David Mason, was brought up and Menendez had Farid shoot him, and Farid killed him to keep his cover. But Mason and Javier Salazar arrived and found Harper's body, and Farid joined them in their fight out of the city. By the time they fought their way out of the city and over the bridge, they found Menendez, and they captured him. Menendez was apprehended, but at a great cost of Yemeni and American lives.
